start emacs -Q, load in two files let's say .bashrc from two locations,
M-x ediff-buffers, now the little pop up window comes up, type ? and the
window does some bizarre moves and shrinks to almost nothing,
This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list, and the GNU
bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org. Please check that, the From: line contains
a valid email address. After a delay of up, to one day, you should receive
an acknowledgement at that address., Please write in English if possible,
as the Emacs maintainers, usually do not have translators for other
languages., Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and,
the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe, starting from
`emacs -Q':, If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb
debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands:, `bt
full' and `xbacktrace'., For information about debugging Emacs, please read

emacs-snapshot -Q -eval "(set-variable 'mail-host-address \"ntlworld.com\")" --eval "(find-file \"file-A.txt\")" --eval "(find-file \"file-B.txt\")" --eval "(ediff-buffers \"file-A.txt\" \"file-B.txt\")"
The contents of the files do not seem to matter.
In this example the files were trivial:
$ cat file-A.txt
This is file A
$ cat file-B.txt
This is file A
I saw this problem with emacs 23.3.1 after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 and
then tested again with emacs-snapshot.
Typing ediff command '?' initially redraws the command frame at the
correct size and then auto-shrinks the width down to 1.
I am seeing the problem happen most (but not all) the time. Perhaps 95%.
I think that a particular run of emacs will either happen 100% or 0%.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
Do you still see this in recent versions of Emacs and/or the operating
system? The best guess in this bug report seemed to indicate that this
might be due to a bug/misfeature in Unity, if I skim it correctly.
